1 Chapter 8
"Are you comfortable, Robyn?"
"No."
"Good. That's what I hoped."
"Have you got Mom?"
"Yes, we have your mother, but at the rate she's going, we won't for much longer."
"What have you done to her?!"
"She's just taking a little nap. I think she must have been tired."
"I'll kill you!"
"Oh really. Well, I don't think I'll worry about that just yet, judging by your current state."
"Where am I?"
"You're in the old school house, my dear. Or should I say under it? But there's no point in screaming. Michelle tried that and it got her nowhere. You can't be heard."
"Why are doing this? What exactly do you aim to achieve? We haven't got anything to give you!"
"On the contrary, you do have something. I will be very happy the moment you and your mother die. But first, I want to taunt you. Simply killing you would be no fun."
"YOU BITCH! What have we ever done to you?!" *SMACK*
"Don't you dare speak to me like that! Michelle learnt her lesson when she tried to stand up to me. Backchat doesn't work. Your mother is now unconscious because of it. So, I suggest you shut up!"
"Make me!" *SMACK*
"Don't tempt me!"
"I thought you were Mom's friend. I thought you were my friend. I've never done anything to you! We don't deserve this!
"Yes, you do!"
"Why?! You're meant to be her best friend, Becky!"
"Exactly! Meant to be! But she never shows it! It's constantly 'Tracey, Tracey, Tracey'! I'm sick of it! 25 years I've had to put up with being shoved out of the picture to make room for Tracey, but not any more! I'm getting my own back."
"Jealousy. All this because you didn't get enough love. Aww, were you feeling all alone and frightened?" *SMACK* *SMACK*
"SHUT UP! I won't have a 15-year old mocking me!"
"You don't have much choice!" *SMACK*
"You know, when you were born, I was so happy. I thought you were the one thing that would allow Michelle and me to be closer. I tried to help her. Through the split, through you growing up, but she just blocked me out completely!"
"That is not true! She treated you just as equally as anyone else!"
"Really! Well, I think we'll ask someone else about that. Clare, would you say she treated everyone fairly?"
"Clare? You're in on this, too? How could you?"
"Oh, it's quite simple really. Your mother was always a slut. She had quite a reputation, you know. She was constantly causing trouble, and who do you think got the blame for it? Us, that's who. Then she started to get closer to Tracey. I didn't mind at first, 'These things happen' I told myself. But it isn't fair when other people are rejected in the process. Why do you think Mary-Jo left?"
"You two are so unbelievably shallow!" *SMACK*
"Did we say you could speak?"
"Why us? Why not Tracey? After all, it's her that's, apparently, taking your places in Mom's life."
"Because it's not Tracey fault. Michelle decides who she wants to be close to. Tracey was the one she chose. And now we are going to make her pay for her actions."
"And what have I got to do with all this?"
"Oh, you aren't important. You're only here because she loves you, and we can bribe her with you. We'd have that Elf, as well, if he wasn't so damn quick."
"What makes you think she would do anything for him? She dumped him, remember?"
"Robyn, do you know how much your mother loves you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, we gave her an ultimatum. We told her about Legolas being back to be her 'knight in shining armour', and we gave her the choice between him and you."
"You what?"
"We told her she had to choose between the lives of you or her lover boy. And do you know what? She didn't give us an answer."
"Now, now Becky, get it right. She did offer her own life, in order to stop us from killing you both. But that wouldn't be any fun, as we told her."
"This is all one big game to you, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is. Why, on Middle Earth, we didn't do it before, I don't know! But, there you go."
"They'll find you! And Aragorn will punish you! You'll be locked up, or worse! You won't get away with this!" *SMACK*
"Shut up, you!"
"Don't touch me!" *SMACK*
"Well, well, well. I see we need to teach you a lesson, as well." *SMACK* *SMACK* *SMACK* *SMACK* "That'll teach her."
"Stop. Becky, what was that noise?"
"SHIT! I think they've found us! But, it's too soon! They're not dead, yet! Dammit! We've got to run!"
"What about them?"
"Leave them! Michelle's as good as dead anyway, and Robyn, well, as I said, she's not important! Now run!"
*****
A/N: The real Clare and Becky are nothing like this! I have to apologise to Clare because she doesn't know I've done this. Becky does, but Clare doesn't. So, I'm sorry Clare! You're not evil really! Well, at least I hope you aren't! Anyway, hope you liked.
